Cowboys signed CB Leon McFadden from the practice squad.

McFadden gives Dallas depth with Morris Claiborne out 4-6 weeks. A 2013 third-round pick of the Browns, McFadden will be active against his former team Sunday, but won't be more than the No. 4 corner. Nov 5 - 3:11 PM

Giants waived CB Leon McFadden.

A third-round pick of the Browns in 2013, McFadden made two appearances for the Giants last season after being signed off the Cards' practice squad in October. He is still only 25, but he is running out of chances. Sep 3 - 10:09 AM

McFadden was the 68th overall pick of the Browns back in 2013 but cut the following summer. He's undersized at 5-foot-9 and 190 pounds. The Giants need the depth with both Prince Amukamara and Trumaine McBride hurt. Wed, Oct 21, 2015 11:20:00 AM

49ers promoted CB Leon McFadden from the practice squad.

A 2013 third-round pick of the Browns, McFadden will add depth with Tramaine Brock (toe) questionable. Jimmie Ward (quad) and Chris Culliver (hamstring) are also dealing with injuries, but are expected to play this week. Sat, Nov 1, 2014 04:24:00 PM

Darren McFadden (elbow, NFI) said he'll need another week before he's ready for game action.

McFadden has been practicing with the Cowboys' scout team this week. All signs point to him returning against the Buccaneers in Week 15. McFadden won't have any fantasy significance playing behind Ezekiel Elliott and Alfred Morris.

Dez Bryant caught 4-of-6 targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Cowboys' Week 13 win over the Vikings.

Bryant almost scored a 57-yard touchdown in the second quarter, but couldn't quite get to the goal line. He fell corralling a just-south-of-perfect pass from Dak Prescott. Bryant was wide open after burning S Harrison Smith. Bryant's score was an eight-yarder where the Vikings confusingly gave him a massive cushion. Looking more on the same page with Dak Prescott each week, Bryant is averaging 88 yards over his past four games. He'll be a WR1 against Janoris Jenkins and the Giants next Sunday.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said the team expects LG Ronald Leary (concussion) to play this week.

Leary exited Week 9 to be evaluated for a concussion in the fourth quarter and never returned. It is still not clear if he was placed in the concussion protocol, but Jones' optimism suggests he avoided injury. Joe Looney replaced Leary on Sunday.

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett wouldn't give a timetable for RT Doug Free's return from foot surgery but said he doesn't "anticipate him missing very much time."

"We think he’s going to be healthy as we go here," said Garrett. Free also underwent foot surgery last offseason. He went on to start all 16 games for the Cowboys. The nine-year veteran should be ready in time for training camp.
